Pass Block
33/50

Jeff Linkenbach (6’6”, 325 lbs, four seasons) played guard and tackle for the Colts in 2013. As a guard, Linkenbach proved to be agile and aware with good hand usage. He isn’t exceptionally quick moving laterally, but his biggest concern was dealing with bull-rushers. Unless Linkenbach won the leverage battle early in the play, he wasn’t able to withstand the bull rush from a good defensive tackle.
Run Block
25/50

Linkenbach was at his best when he could initially be part of a double-team before leaking onto the second level. Even then he wasn’t overly impressive. Linkenbach doesn’t have an effective initial punch and can’t sustain blocks at any area of the field. His agility is valuable, but it is diminished by his lack of overall strength.
Overall
58/100

Linkenbach is one of those players who is trapped between being "not good enough" at tackle and "not the right fit" at guard.

right now he's our starting RG until cue Zach Martin joke here ___.

[Bootlegged]

Did I miss the report that stated he was signed as starting G at $5m per year? WTF cares if they sign a backup lineman?

[mcaj22]

because usually, when you sign a "backup" lineman there is a solidified starter in front of him. (see last year Geoff Schwartz --> Jon Asamoah)

in this case, there isn't. there is a massive gaping void on the offensive line with nobody with any experience to fill it. This is where Jeff Linkenbach comes in, he has more NFL experience than anyone else at the position currently. Now whether he wins the starting job remains to be seen. But this pretty much says we will have some slapdick playing RG for us this season that gets absolutely owned.

[DaWolf]

Dorsey hinted at moves like this prior to the start of free agency, saying they've identified some players who have certain "skills" that fit the "system" we run that they've identified (translation: cheap signings).

Which means either Mays and Linkenbach do things that fit our system well and they will be nice complimentary signings, or that the front office is trying to get too cute and signing guys who are destined to continue to suck...

Because as we all know....the more starts you have....the better you are.

So you think it's coincidental that he's been a backup his whole career? If he was truly good, why did he never crack a starting lineup without injury having caused it?

# of starts mean something. You can't dismiss it. If a guy only starts 26 games in a 6 year career, he's not good. If he goes 2 years without starting a game, he's likely not good.



Make sure to leave out the part where this isn't 2013 and we actually got to see Schwartz play...

Ironic. You're willing to ignore Schwartz's first 5 years and instead focus on just 7 games. This is what Alex Smith defenders did all last year and you guys killed them for it.

[mcaj22]

in Schwartz case when we signed him we actually had a Fat Scott 3rd round pick starter at RG in Jon Asamoah. So there was a low risk high reward that paid off there (he beat out Jon Asamoah, but if he didnt beat him out, we still had Jon Asamoah so it was the same as it ever was.)

in Jeff Linckenbach's case, we have ****ing NOBODY at RG.

I use the eye test. When Schwartz played he was good, period. Now, it's true that I've never really seen Linkenbach play, but from the stats I'm reading, he's horrible, and has been horrible every season. This guy is not worth thinking anything positive about until proven otherwise, just like Schwartz.

So it was JUST Schwartz that helped improve Oline play? Bull shit! We allowed 26 sacks before the bye week. 13 after. That big difference is because of some career backup? REALLY?

Hell if allowing 2 sacks in 7 games impresses you, we should have kept Asamoah instead. He allowed 2 sacks in 16 games in 2012.

I guess I don't understand your take here. You liked the Smith deal, or you didn't?

I didn't like the Smith deal because I wanted them to be true to their word and build through the draft.

When they traded for Smith and signed a whole bunch of guys last offseason, it looked like they were ready to compete.

They went out and made the playoffs year 1.

Reason enough to like the deal.

And now they're turning around and looking like they're starting over. It just doesn't make sense.

If you're going to trade extremely valuable picks for a 30-year old QB, are you going to build around him and try to win?

Or are you going to tear the whole thing down and start over?

I already know what your answer is...whatever the Chiefs decide to do is the right decision.

29 years old but who cares. It was clearly the right move. And don't tell me what I do or don't agree with or support. You were one of these, I'm leaving forever if they don't do what I want, people, so I know where you stand. The real fans are so annoying.

Geno or I'm out.

[taterhog]

in Schwartz case when we signed him we actually had a Fat Scott 3rd round pick starter at RG in Jon Asamoah. So there was a low risk high reward that paid off there (he beat out Jon Asamoah, but if he didnt beat him out, we still had Jon Asamoah so it was the same as it ever was.)

in Jeff Linckenbach's case, we have ****ing NOBODY at RG.

Unless 1.23 that's our starter at G.

[mcaj22]

Unless 1.23 that's our starter at G.

yea Linkenbach was probably brought in to backup Zach Martin

[htismaqe]

They have more holes now than when the offseason started and they're down a 2nd round pick from the Smith trade.

Again, it isn't over. Yes there are more holes. Some of those are very easy not to just replace but improve. I'll wait till the fat lady sings before I laugh or cry. I thought the OL was going to be a huge problem last season..and it was for a while.

Now if they paid this guy starting money, I'd be concerned.

Again, it isn't over.

There's a limited pool of resources. No, it's not over. But at the end of the day, do you really want them digging up the scum from the bottom of the barrel?

We were sitting good going into this draft. Now they've all but painted themselves into a corner having to draft a linemen or they're going to trot out there with a bunch of new guys and throw them to the fire.

The Alex Smith trade goes directly against what Dorsey talked about last year.

And when they end next season without a playoff win, I won't be then either.

They were right not to go strictly draft with the most important position. Smith was the best QB, draft, trade, or FA.

I don't know what will happen next year. You know?

I'm not panicking. My only real interest in this is the discussion. The Chiefs just don't get me excited anymore, good or bad.

[Lightrise]

Just took a look at the roster. This team is a mess with numerous holes now. I can see Hudson moving to G and Kush starting viable. If Commings fails Abdullah is what we live with. The glaring problem is actually depth. Have to hope that Dorsey picks up the pieces from pre-season and we have an excellent draft, otherwise its going to be a long year. It has to be a WR #1 and and some fat guy in round 3 and some pre-prison CB in round 4.

And no, I don't KNOW what will happen next year. But I have a pretty good idea that it will look a lot like last year.

Right now, we're expecting all of our existing depth to be starters. So we literally have no depth.

If the Chiefs grab Xavier Su'a-Filo or Joel Bitonio in the draft, I would argue that they have improved at the position. Or they could trade down and get OL in the 2nd.

In FA, you're looking at a wash at best.

That said, I don't see how the Chiefs can afford not to make at least a move or two in FA.

This is a deep draft, especially for corners and WRs. There's also some real quality pass rushers that could be there for us. It would be a real shame to have to use a 1 or 3 on a lineman because they sat on their hands in free agency.

Well, we don't have a 2nd round pick and a guy like Bitonio would have to be our 3rd rounder. That's too much IMO.

Lots of teams want to trade back. In draft this deep, it's going to be tough. We have to pray that somebody that was supposed to be top 10 drops for some reason...

Yes.

They re-signed Abdullah and acquired Joe Mays and Linkenbach.

[temper11]

Ironic. You're willing to ignore Schwartz's first 5 years and instead focus on just 7 games. This is what Alex Smith defenders did all last year and you guys killed them for it.

That's not even close to the same thing. As a lineman, you line up against one guy and you either win or lose. As a QB, there are so many more things that go into your performance. Scheme, OC's, Quality of the line, Quality of the skill positions, etc etc.

Mays sucks. I saw him play nearly every game last year with the Texans. Dude can't shed blocks to save his life and has very limited range. He ALWAYS got caught up in the "mush." There's a reason why the Texans didn't want him any longer and he wasn't at all expensive for them to keep. Dude also plays dirty. He BLOWS.

They'd give Fisher a chance to start at LT before playing Collins there. They would probably make all 3 compete for the starting LT role and hope that Fisher wins it outright as he enters his 2nd year in the league.

Well, given the fact that Collins is a proven and good vet starter and Stephenson played well, I wouldn't be entirely surprised. However, if Fisher is able to add enough weight and power to withstand bull rushes next season and not get knicked up so easily, he should win the LT position easily. If it's even across the board, they're going to start Fisher.

When you figure out how the cap really works, you'll understand the Chiefs could have and should do more in free agency. Id trade places with Denver in a second. Why? Because they TRY EVERY YEAR. The Chiefs take two steps backwards after having a successful season. If you want to worry about something, worry about that disturbing fact and ask yourself why...

It would be sad, if that was actually what he meant.

What did Joe Mays get?

it's 2 for $6M but like Motherfucker (I love quoting him, BTW) said, it's pretty much all incentives.

[OldSchool]

Hahahahahahahahaha

No ****ing way.

For Joe Mays?

HMOG

It's incentive based. I doubt he sees all of that money.

[htismaqe]

Hahahahahahahahaha

No fucking way.

HMOG

Loaded with incentives apparently. He probably won't ever see anywhere close to $6M.

I actually think it's a decent, affordable signing.

I just can't stand Joe Mays the player. It's not that he sucks, it's that he's dirty.

[BossChief]

It's gonna take everything I have to not talk shit to this guy at camp. Joe Mays.
